Good work CK, Am a car lover so information i get is well helpful

I always love and follow your reviews from Zambia 🇿🇲.

That's my honest request. Otherwise great Chanel. Thank you

[@downloadhapa]

Driven many cars and can conclusively say the driving experience of the diesel version is just on another level at that price point. Power, stability, speed, driver assist features etc. I would sacrifice reliability for the driving experience. After all, reliability is a function of probability, the driving experience is not. Try it on open road and long distances and there is no driving fatigue. Go diesel or go home on the CX-5 😁.

I have CX5 skyactive D, so far no issues if properly maintained. As you said that head gasket is a big issue globally & reliability matters to me especially on engines. Kindly if you can review 2015 TO 2021 RAV4 if its possible. Rav4 is the best selling vehicle after the Corolla but price is expensive can't beat the reliability on this vehicle.

Thanks for reviewing this car from another company that Toyota has shares in and chances are very high that the gear boxes used in this car were manufactured by Toyota.

[@bandagalu]

Excellent work as usual. The CX5 has the looks. The 2.0 petrol feels underpowered, I haven’t gotten the chance to try the 2.5. The diesel is super fast, but just as you said, the gasket fails without fail. I also felt the CX5 is not as well insulated as the competition - lot of road noise. But it could be just me. But excellent work. With a CK.

[@speedfreak-ke]

the 2.0 petrol is really underpowered and not very economical. the diesels is like a lottery i have driven a couple of them from msa and one failed on me

[@riwellwaweru9644]

Keep up bro. Few corrections though, DIESEL version recommended API rating of oil is CJ4 and not SN. SN is for the petrol version. I'd however go for CK4. The diesel engine issues starts with dpf clogging which brings about the overheating issue as the dpf is welded directly to the exhaust manifold hence resulting to overheating of the gasket area near the exhaust manifold. No 1 killer of dpfs is use of high sulphur diesel oils which end up clogging the DPF. kenyans are yet to know about the CJ4 and CK4 oils, kindly teach them about this. A clogged Dpf will cause some back pressure which will also mess up the turbo. Issues of bad radiator caps are also reported where coolant will leak to the reservoir when driving normally on the highway. Idling stop im told will not destroy the turbo for these reasons.... 1.auto-stop will not work when the oil temperature is beyond a certain threshold, 2.Auto-stop will not work when intake air temperature(air after intercooler) is beyond a certain level 3. Auto stop will only work when exhaust manifold temperatures is low.(lower than 650 degrees) @HONDA AND MAZDA ENTHUSIASTS KENYA 0787338013
